Mattress

We added a basic memory foam topper (3 inches) to our Alpine king sized mattress and we found this to work well. Bought ours at Costco (Canada)

If it is a standard king just go to the local mattress store and get what you like!!

That is what we did for our standard size Queen.

Ours was a short queen and the mattress store ordered one. Just try out the floor models till you find one you like and they should be able to order one the right size for you.

Under Mattress Support

We were disappointed in our short queen mattress until we added the memory foam topper and a 1/2" thick piece of plywood under the mattress for improved support.

These two moves made a whole lot of improvement; and the fix was cheap.

We did the same for our king bed in the 2013 Mountaineer , and it works fine.

We have gone the memory foam route and new mattress route in the past, both were good changes from the original mattress. If I had to do it all over again, I'd go with a quality memory foam since it is much cheaper and has great results. Fortunately for us, the pillow top king in our Alpine is just fine and I sleep well without any back pain.

I fight with a bad back, two years ago we bout a memory foam mattress from http://mattressinsider.com/. It s was about $350 for a rv queen, and this 6" mattress is every bit as comfortable as my Temperpedic in my house. I highly reccommend it.

Ditto for us (also a Mountaineer with king bed). Wonderful sleep.

Upgrade to Mattress

While not applying to our current RV, we had a 'short' Queen mattress which was really lousy - basically 4" foam. We started looking around at the RV dealers,and the prices were fairly high based on the custom size. For our home, we had purchased mattresses from a Verlo dealer, who will make custom mattress based on your request for firmness/softness/material for the same or less than the regular mattress companies (Serta, Beautyrest, Sealy, etc.). Ended up requesting a mattress which was just like at home, just slightly longer than the short size, and it was less than the RV specialty mattresses.

I'm not sure you have Verlo locally, buy you might have a mattress company who could give you the same type of service. By the way, you can also get carried away, and spend alot of money, so not everything they have is cheaper!

We added a 4" memory foam topper to the standard queen mattress. What a difference! Bed in the fifth wheel is more comfortable than our bed in the stick house now. Some night when I can't sleep I plan to run away to the camper and sack out all by my onesies.

we just always replace the mattress, keeps it simple and I don't hit my head (much) when you rise the mattress with another 4 inches in height.

We bought a 9 or 10" memory foam mattress from Costco and it was fine on a 30 day camping trip. We tried a memory foam topper on the original and it wasn't enough for our princess bones, plus the fold marks never came out of it.

Good choice, remember two things, reduce pressure when increasing in elevation, and you will need a power supply (inverter) for those time you are not hooked up to 30 or 50 amp, or a generator. A small inverter will the job, the compressor only pull about 65 watts. We made the switch a year and a half ago, never been sorry.

+1 for Sleep Number. We had a king sized one in our stick house. We got a queen size for the 5'ver; a good night's sleep does wonders!

We have had memory foam toppers on our last two beds in our units and they do the trick. On our last 5er we also had a featherbed topper on top of the mem foam. That was great!
